Unfortunately the rabbit hole is a bit deeper with this one.
tcg2_hash_pe_image() is called in 
- tcg2_measure_pe_image(). This one is called in efi_load_pe() and the type
  is indeed a size_t there, so that's fine
- efi_tcg2_hash_log_extend_event(), this one is different...
The function is described by the EFI spec [0] which mandates a u64... I
think that was the reason efi_prepare_aligned_image() is using a u64 to
begin with.  This one uses the size only though not the pointer, but in a
32bit platform it would truncate s size > UINT_MAX.
